From the time of ancient Israel the Ark of the Covenant, the focal point of  Israel’s sojourn in the wilderness was the where God’s throne on earth was, where His Holy Spirit the Shekinah abode on the mercy seat.

Many accounts in the Bible tell of supernatural events connected with it until it was hidden in a cave by Jeremiah at the time of the Babylonian captivity.  Now in our day, under the leading of God’s Spirit, the Lord leading Ron Wyatt to its discovery has shown again through supernatural events and experiences the sacred nature of the Ark, for the sake of edifying and confirming His continued presence.

This study will take the reader through all of the known events past and present connected with the Ark and its contents, for its contents (the 10 Commandment Tables of Stone) was the focus of God’s interest in the Ark, and His protecting care over it throughout its history.  But of equal importance to the Heavenly Father, since His Son Jesus was crucified, is Jesus’ spilt and now dried blood resting on the mercy seat.  These things make the resting place of the Ark the most important and precious spot in all of God’s universe.  This we know because it was revealed to Ron by the Lord that the chamber where the ark rests is considered His earthly temple, the Most Holy Place, where His Holy Spirit resides.  This, the most precious place in the universe, is the only physical evidence ever that today testifies of God's gift of His Son to save mankind.  This blood is the only physical witness today of what happened 2000 years ago when Jesus died.  Up until 1990 when Ron was led to this most important find ever, no one had even a clue where the Ark was hidden for over 2500 years, much less that Jesus’ blood actually fell on the mercy seat of the Ark.

This study will give the hard evidence for this amazing discovery of all time, and the physical supernatural manifestations of this as proof of who has orchestrated this discovery. It should be obvious to all the utter impossibility that this find could have been arranged by any man or group of men without God's direct intervention, leading, and guiding Ron.

What Ron experienced on His fourth trip into the chamber has recently been written up as prima facie evidence, and will soon be a witness to the world as God moves to bring this information out into the light.

But let us start at the beginning by relating Ellen White’s inspired account of the Ark’s early history.  It lays the foundation, makes the connection, and supports the amazing things that have recently happened in connection with the Ark of the Covenant.

ASSOCIATED ARK MIRACLES OF THE PAST:

Between the years 1870 and 1884 Ellen White described in detail what she was shown about the Ark of the Covenant and its history in a book "Spirit of Prophecy".  In this account she describes how 4 angels were assigned by God to protect and keep the Ark and the "Tables of Stone," contained therein.  Little did anyone dream that over 2500 years later these angels would make their presence known again to Ron Wyatt on his fourth visit to the chamber where the Ark is hidden.

This whole story and miraculous chain of events is the most precious and exciting revelation by God in modern times. This series of discoveries revealed to Ron Wyatt starting in the 1970's, has to be one of the strongest evidences that last day events are upon us and that we must be at the end of time.

The following extract from a narrative by Ellen White, gives a good history of the Ark and the series of miraculous events associated with it.  Significant to the reader is the mention of four angels who were assigned to go with the ark and remain with it.  These angels were responsible for the miraculous events which happened during its history and connected with the Israelites.  This was taken from the Book Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 1, pages 398-414, entitled The Ark of God.

The ark of God was a sacred chest, made to be the depository of the ten commandments, which law was the representative of God himself.  This ark was considered the glory and strength of Israel.  The token of the Divine presence abode upon it day and night.  The priests who ministered before it were sacredly consecrated to the holy office.  They wore a breast-plate bordered with precious stones of different materials, the same that compose the twelve foundations of the city of God. Within the borders were the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, graven on precious stones set in gold. This was a very rich and beautiful work, suspended from the shoulders of the priests, covering the breast.

At the right and left of the breast-plate were set two larger stones, which shone with great brilliancy.  When difficult matters were brought to the judges, which they could-not decide, they were referred to the priests, and they inquired of God who answered them.  If he favored, and if he would grant them success, a halo of light and glory especially rested upon the precious stone at the right.  If he disapproved, a vapor or cloud seemed to settle upon the precious stone at the left hand.  When they inquired of God in regard to going to battle, the precious stone at the right, when circled with light, said, Go, and prosper. The stone at the left, when shadowed with a cloud, said, Thou shalt not go; thou shalt not prosper.

When the high priest entered within the most holy, once a years; and ministered before the ark in the awful presence of God, he inquired, and God often answered him with an audible voice.  When the Lord did not answer by a voice, he let the sacred beams of light and glory rest upon the cherubim upon the right of the ark, in approbation, or favor.  If their requests were refused a cloud rested upon the cherubim at the left.

Four heavenly angels always accompanied the ark of God in all its journeyings, to guard it from all danger; and to fulfill any mission required of them to connection with the ark.

AT THE JORDAN:

Jesus the Son of God, followed by heavenly angels went before the ark as it came to Jordan; and the waters were cut off before his presence.  Christ and angels stood by the ark and the priests in the bed of the river, until all Israel had passed over Jordan.  Christ and angels attended the circuit of the ark around Jericho, and finally cast down the massive walls of the city, and delivered Jericho into the hands of Israel.
 

IN THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES:

God permitted his ark to be taken by their enemies, to show Israel how vain it was to trust in the ark, the symbol of his presence, while they were profaning the commandments contained in the ark. God would humble them by removing from them that sacred ark, their boasted strength and confidence.

The Philistines were triumphant, because they had, as they thought, the famous god of the Israelites, which had performed such wonders for them and had made them a terror to their enemies.  They took the ark of God to Ashdod, and set it in a splendid temple, made in honor of their most popular god, Dagon, and placed it by the side of their god.  In the morning, the priests of these gods entered the temple, and they were terrified to find Dagon fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord.  They raised Dagon and placed him in his former position.  They thought he might have accidentally fallen.  But the next morning they found him fallen as before upon his face to the ground, and the head of Dagon and both his hands were cut off.  THE (4) ANGELS OF GOD WHO ACCOMPANIED THE ARK, prostrated the senseless idol god, and afterward mutilated it, to show that God, the living God, was above all gods, and that before him every heathen god was as nothing.

The men of Ashdod began to be greatly afflicted.  The Lord destroyed them; and they remembered the plagues brought upon Egypt, and their mutilated god, and were convinced that it was because they kept the ark of God, that these distressing afflictions came upon them.  God would evidence to the idolatrous Philistines, and also to his people, that the ark was strength and power to those who were obedient to his law; and that to the disobedient and wicked it was punishment and death.  When the men of Ashdod became convinced that it was the God of the Hebrews who caused their afflictions, because of his ark, they decided that the ark of the God of Israel should not abide with them.  For, said they, "his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon, our god."   The great men and rulers consulted together, relative to what they should do with the ark of the God of Israel.  They had taken it in triumph, but knew not what to do with the sacred chest; for instead of its being a power and strength to them, it was a great burden and a heavy curse.  They decided to send it to Gath.  But THE DESTROYING ANGELS carried on their work of destruction in that place also.  Very many of the people of Gath died; and they dared not retain the ark longer there, lest the God of Israel should consume them all by his curse.

They of Gath decided to send the ark to Ekron. The Ekronites were also afflicted, and great numbers of them died. They went to their gods for help, as the cities of Ashdod and Gath had done, but they obtained no relief. They then humbled themselves to cry to the God of Israel, to whom the ark belonged for relief from their affliction. So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people; for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.  And the men that died not, were smitten with the emerods; and the cry of the city went up to Heaven."  It was borne from place to place in terror, and destruction from God followed its course, until the Philistines were greatly perplexed to know what to do with it.  ANGELS WHO ACCOMPANIED IT, GUARDED IT FROM ALL HARM.  And the Philistines did not dare to open the chest; for their god Dagon had met with such a fate that they feared to touch it, or to have it near them.  They called for the priests and the diviners, and inquired of them what they should do with the ark of God.  They advised them to send it back to the people to whom it belonged, and the send with it a costly trespass-offering, which if God would be pleased to accept, they would be healed.  They should also understand that God's hand was upon them because they had taken his ark, which belonged alone to Israel.

Some were not in favor of this.  It was too humiliating to carry back the ark; and they urged that no one of the Philistines would dare venture his life, to carry the ark of the God of Israel, which had brought such death upon them. Their counselors entreated the people not to harden their hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh had done, and cause still greater afflictions and plagues to come upon them.  And as they were all afraid to take the ark of God, they advised them, saying, "Now therefore, make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come on yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them.  And take the ark of the Lord, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass-offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.  And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil; but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.  And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home."   "And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left."

The Philistines knew that the cows would not be induced to leave their young calves at home, unless they should be urged by some unseen power.  The cows went direct to Beth-shemesh, lowing for their calves, yet going directly from them.  The lords of the Philistines followed after the ark unto the border of Beth-shemesh.  The dared not trust that sacred chest wholly to the cows. They feared that if any evil happened to it, greater calamities would come upon them. They knew not THAT ANGELS OF GOD ACCOMPANIED THE ARK, and guided the cows in their course to the place where it belonged.

ON TO BETH-SHEMESH:

The men of Beth-shemesh were curious to know what great power could be in that ark, which caused it to accomplish such marvelous things.  They looked upon the ark alone as being so powerful, and were not accrediting the power to God.  None but men sacredly appointed for the purpose could look upon the ark , divested of its coverings, without being slain; for it was as though looking upon God himself.  And as the people gratified their curiosity, and opened the ark to gaze into its sacred recesses, which the heathen idolaters had not dared to do, THE ANGELS ATTENDING THE ARK SLEW ABOVE FIFTY THOUSAND OF THE PEOPLE.

And the people of Beth-shemesh were afraid of the ark; and they said,  "'Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God.'  And to whom shall he go up from us?  And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the Lord.  Come ye down, and fetch it up to you."   The people of Kirjath-jearim brought the ark of the Lord to the house of Abinadab, and sanctified his son to keep it.  For twenty years the Hebrews were in the power of the Philistines, and they were greatly humbled, and repented of their sins; and Samuel interceded for them, and God was again merciful to them.

BACK TO ISRAEL:

The ark remained in the house of Abinadab until David was made king.  He gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand, and went to bring up the ark of God.  They set the ark upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, drove the cart.  David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of musical instruments.  "And when they came to Nachon's threshing-floor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God."  He showed a manifest distrust of God, as though he who had brought the ark from the land of the Philistines, could not take care of it.  ANGELS WHO ATTENDED THE ARK STRUCK DOWN UZZAH for presuming impatiently to put his hand upon the ark of God.

"And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it. And David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord."

After Solomon had finished building the temple, he assembled the elders of Israel, and the most influential men among the people, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David.  Solomon followed the example of his father David.  Every six paces, he sacrificed.  With singing, and with music, and great ceremony, "the priests brought in the ark of the covenant for the Lord unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.  For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above."

A most splendid sanctuary had been made, according to the pattern showed to Moses in the mount, and afterward presented by the Lord to David.  The earthly sanctuary  was made like the heavenly.  In addition to the cherubim on the top of the ark, Solomon made two other angels of larger size, standing at each end of the ark, REPRESENTING THE HEAVENLY ANGELS ALWAYS GUARDING THE LAW OF GOD.   It is impossible to describe the beauty and splendor of this tabernacle.  There, as in the tabernacle, the sacred ark was borne in solemn, reverential order, and set in its place beneath the wings of the two stately cherubim that stood upon the floor.

INTO THE TEMPLE:

The sacred choir united their voices with all kinds of musical instruments, in praise to God.  And while the voices, in harmony with instruments of music, resounded through the temple, and were borne upon the air through Jerusalem, the cloud of God's glory took possession of the house, as it had formerly filled the tabernacle. "And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord."

King Solomon stood upon a brazen scaffold before the altar, and blessed the people.  He then knelt down, and with his hands raised upward, poured forth earnest and solemn prayer to God, while the congregation were bowed with their faces to the ground.  After Solomon had ended his prayer, a miraculous fire came from Heaven and consumed the sacrifice.

Because of the sins of Israel, the calamity which God said should come upon the temple if his people departed from him, was fulfilled some hundreds of years after the temple was built. God promised Solomon, if he would remain faithful, and his people would obey all his commandments, that that glorious temple should stand forever in all its  splendor, as an evidence of the prosperity and exalted blessings resting upon Israel for their obedience.

THE ARK HIDDEN:

Because of Israel's transgression of the commandments of God, and their wicked acts, God suffered them to go into captivity, to humble and punish them.  Before the temple was destroyed, God made known to a few of his faithful servants the fate of the temple, which was the pride of Israel, and which they regarded with idolatry, while they were sinning against God.  He also revealed to them the captivity of Israel. THESE RIGHTEOUS MEN, JUST BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE, REMOVED THE SACRED ARK CONTAINING THE TABLES OF STONE, AND WITH MOURNING AND SADNESS, SECRETED IT IN A CAVE WHERE IT WAS TO BE HID FROM THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, BECAUSE OF THEIR SINS, AND WAS TO BE NO MORE RESTORED TO THEM.  THAT SACRED ARK IS YET HID.  IT HAS NEVER BEEN DISTURBED SINCE IT WAS SECRETED.
 
 

Thus spoke Ellen White about the fate of the Ark over 120 years ago.  This account has now been brought to light by the miraculous finding of Ron Wyatt below the Calvary escarpment.  After almost 2600 years in hiding the Lord has revealed the location of the Ark and orchestrated its being brought to light.  Beginning with Ron's arm going up and pointing to where it was hidden and words coming out of his mouth that he did not speak, and ending with his encounter with the four angels.  What was shown to Ellen White who saw it all in vision, is now confirmed by Ron's discovery.

The four angels guarding the Ark and its contents since Moses put the tables of stone in the Ark, are still at their post of duty.  They helped Ron personally in what the Lord wanted to have done.  The world will soon see them on the video Ron was instructed to make by them, along with the tables of stone and Jesus' blood. In God's time all will be revealed.
 

RECENT MIRACULOUS EVENTS:

The first miraculous event in our time occurred in 1978 while Ron was walking outside the Jerusalem city wall beside the Calvary Escarpment.  This is an update by Update by Bill Fry, October 5, 1998.

In 1978 Ron Wyatt was walking along the Calvary Escarpment when something happened to him that so far only occurred once in his life. While walking with a member of the Israeli Department of Antiquities his left arm raised up and pointed to the escarpment and the words came out of his mouth, "That's Jeremiah's Grotto and the Ark of the Covenant is buried in there." Ron had no control of what he said, it was the Lord giving him those words to speak. This man then said, "That's wonderful! We will not only furnish you a permit, we'll put you up in a place to stay, have your laundry done and furnish your meals!"

Ron and his sons came back several times over the next few years and spent hundreds of hours digging at that location. Ron finally found and entered the cave that contained the Ark of the Covenant on January 6, 1982.

On that trip his two sons became sick and had to return home early. Ron continued working in the cave system with only a young Arab boy as his assistant. He found a narrow vertical crevice in a rock wall too narrow for him to fit through but with a little work it was "just right" for his helper. The boy squeezed into the opening. But before Ron could hand him a flashlight to look around with the lad came scurrying out of that chamber as fast as he could saying, "What's in there? What's in there??" He was scared to death! From that point forward young boy refused to ever again to enter into the cave system. He now lives outside Israel and because of governmental visitor regulations he cannot reenter the country.

During Ron's excavation in this area, he found the location of Christ's crucifixion. Christ was crucified up against what is known as the Calvary Escarpment, very near Golgotha and the Garden Tomb. When Christ died on the cross, "the rocks were rent." That earthquake split the escarpment! There is a vertical crack directly behind where the cross was placed. When Ron excavated down approximately 14 feet below present ground level at that location, he found the cross hole. It was 13 inches by 14 inches in width, and 23 ½ inches deep, and there was a stone "plug" in the top of it that was squarish and approximately 8 inches thick. But most importantly, there was a very sizable split in the rocks on the left side of the cross hole!

When Christ died on the cross and the centurion stabbed him in the side with his spear, Christ's blood and water flowed out. Christ's blood went into the large crack in the ground at the base of the cross, and it continued underground through the split in the rocks caused by the earthquake, and the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God went upon the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant that was buried in the cave that is approximately 20 feet right below the crucifixion site! (The prophecy in Daniel 9:24 foretold of this very wonderful and special event! The "most holy" place was anointed with Christ's blood!)

When Ron entered that cave at 2:00 p.m. on the afternoon of January 6, 1982, this is what he saw: There was very little room to crawl around because the things placed in the cave left only about a foot and a half of crawl space between them and the ceiling of the cave. There were rocks on top of boards, on top of animal skins. When he shined his flashlight down between the rocks, he saw that much of the wood and fur were rotted away and he saw "gold" glittering down underneath the rocks. Then at the far side of the cave he saw a stone box.

The lid of the box was cracked and the smaller portion of the lid was moved aside a short distance. At this point Ron realized what had taken place there nearly 2000 years ago! Overwhelmed with the emotion of this revelation, Ron passed out for 45 minutes in that chamber.

Hopefully soon it will be time to reveal the Ark of the Covenant to the entire world. When the Lord says, "It is time," Ron or some other humble man will return and re-enter that cave and take along with him a camera crew and one or more genetic scientists.  [It is doubtful that this and the following statement will take place, for there is already adequate proof on the vidoeo tape.  This was just Ron's idea, not inspiration.  Ron died after this statementy was made.]  We will see them take a sample of Christ's blood (their is a dried pool of it on the Mercy Seat!), and we will see the test results of that extremely unique blood! Ron has already tested his own sample and he knows what the results will be. Remember, Ron works as an anesthetist in several hospitals and he has seen lots of blood.

Christ's blood has only 24 chromosomes!!!

Normal human blood has a total of 46 chromosomes. When a child is conceived 23 chromosomes come from the mother (all of these are "X" chromosomes), and 23 come from the father. If a child is to be a male child a "Y" chromosome is provided by the father and that chromosome designates the child will be a male.

Christ's blood has only 24 chromosomes! There are 23 from his earthly human mother and only one "Y" chromosome from His heavenly Father! No other human blood like this has ever existed on the earth! The scientific term for this is "ploidy" or "haploidy." There have been known examples of females born with only half the normal chromosome count - 23 - but never a male child, because the father has to provide that distinctive "Y" chromosome! Praise the Lord! God will scientifically prove beyond all reasonable doubt that Jesus was no mere "good teacher" or "just a good man." Jesus Christ was the divine Son of God!

The key to understanding what the Ark is and its significance to us today lies in studying the sacrificial system which was established by God when man fell and was cast out of the Garden of Eden.

All of the objects in the earthly tabernacle, in the Sanctuary, were "patterns of things in the heavens." Hebrews 9:23. The Ark represented God's throne where His presence was evident among the people. This throne was a copy of the great throne in heaven. The Ark resided in the second apartment of the Sanctuary - "The Most Holy Place."

The sacrificial system was designed to show the awful results of sin and how God Himself would ultimately offer His Son as the Sin bearer to atone for the sins of mankind. "Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin." Hebrews 9:22.

A sinner would bring a lamb or a dove to the Sanctuary, confess his sins, then take the life of that innocent animal. In this act the sin did not vanish, the sin was transferred to the Sanctuary. This happened all year long and then once a year, on the Day of Atonement, the High Priest would make a very special sacrifice that would ultimately "cleanse the sanctuary." Lot were cast over two goats. According to the outcome one was sacrificed and the other was ushered out into the wilderness after ALL THE SINS which had accumulated in the Sanctuary were placed upon this "scapegoat," where it would die in the wilderness. (Leviticus 16) This goat represents the ultimate punishment of Satan.

Christ represented "the perfect lamb of God" and He died on the cross and shed His blood to atone for the sins of all mankind. Currently Jesus is our "High Priest" and He is officiating on man's behalf in the heavenly Sanctuary. On the earthly Day of Atonement the goat's blood was sprinkled on the top of the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. At His death on the cross, CHRIST'S BLOOD fell upon the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant! This scenario NEVER occurred to Ron before he entered that cave in 1982 and saw what had happened with Christ's blood. No other story about the Ark of the Covenant makes more sense than this one. This scenario is the ONLY one that truly accomplishes God's holy purpose in regard to the Sanctuary service!

The Ark and the various other items from the first temple were hidden in this cave below the Calvary Escarpment when Nebuchadnezzar sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the temple in 586 B.C. There is a list of the things taken to Babylon (2 Kings 25), but the Ark was not included! Temple priests were led by God to hide the Ark directly under the place where His Son would die approximately 600 years later!
 

Although the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant is a fantastic God inspired discovery, of greater importance is what was contained inside of it--the two tables of stone, which is the 10 commandments moral law written out for the children of Israel by God Himself with His finger.

The miracle of how Ron was helped by four angelic beings to retrieve these is a story in itself which is too long to relate here, but shows the extreme importance of these two tables of stone, and the fact that they were brought to light at this very time, indicates God has plans to bring these to the light at the proper time.

These tables are a reflection of God's character of  love, the first four entail our obeying them because of our love for Him. He once said if ye love me, keep my commandments.  The last six contain our responsibility to our fellow man, and entail our love for him.

Unlike what people think, these tables or 10 commandments are not a method of salvation to gain heaven, but the standard of salvation.  They are not a way to work yourself to heaven like the ancient Jews engaged in, but rather a standard of righteousness given as a guide to lead us to Christ. Paul says that the law was our "schoolmaster" or standard to teach us how to live.

Now God has a very special purpose is bringing these tables of stone out of hiding after 2600 years.  The last great battle (Armageddon) will be fought over God's moral laws of right.  Thousands of years ago the enemy introduced into the Christian church errors in the doctrines and beliefs of the church which usurp God's law. It is planned by the enemy to bring about events that will force, if possible, everyone in this world to choose the enemy's law over God's.  This will be the last great test for humanity.  But people need to know what God's law says in clear unmistakable terms before they can decide whose side they will be on.  This is where the tables of stone come in.  At the time of test, they will be brought forth by a person of God's choosing to be seen by the world.

At that time there will also be brought forth the concrete, scientific evidence about the Ark through a video tape, and God's eternal law and the evidence of Jesus' blood spilled upon the mercy seat of the Ark.  This is God's show and tell to the world as a witness and irrefutable evidence of His Son's sacrifice for lost mankind.

The incredible account of what actually happened in that chamber on Ron's 4th visit was recently posted on "Anchorstones" website by Bill Fry, close friend of Ron's who worked closely with Ron and was entrusted with giving out the following information when it was time.  This is the greatest physical manifestation and revelation of God's intentions to this present world.  It means that God has set the stage and that the curtain is about to rise on the stage of the last act of this earth's history. It means that the last scenes described in the book of Revelation is about to commence, and that Jesus is soon to come and take home with Him all those who are faithful to Him.
 

Approximately 6 weeks after I began to write this update in June 1999, Ron Wyatt died in a Memphis hospital from colon cancer. I had promised Ron that I would not post this update until he had a chance to review it for accuracy. To insure that accuracy, Ron allowed me to record our phone conversation as he told me the story and as I asked specific questions.

I must say now that I will not be making this tape available publicly. So please, don't ask. The reason is that this conversation was taped during the last weeks of Ron Wyatt's life and it is very apparent that he was in quite a bit of pain during portions of our conversation. Because of that I don't like listening to the tape, even to this day. Therefore, out of respect for Ron, I will not be making the tape available to anyone. There are no details on the tape that are not covered in the update.

Unfortunately, before I was able to finish writing the update Ron became very sick and was never able to review what I had written. However, the audio tape testifies to the accuracy of this update; that I wrote only those things that Ron passed on to me. I have added a few minor details to the story from information that Ron has passed on publicly at various times and places but the main points of the story comes directly from our taped conversation.

Since his death, I have not known exactly how to proceed in sharing this information. I counseled with a number of people about this and finally decided that I would not share it until I was impressed that the time was right. It is for that reason that I now share with you the experience that Ron Wyatt had in the Ark of the Covenant chamber.

Over the last couple of years there have been stories circulating about an encounter that Ron Wyatt was supposed to have had with an angel. According to the stories he was given instructions about the Ark of the Covenant, when it would be revealed, and exactly how he was to proceed with his work on the discovery. I have personally had several different versions of these stories sent to me with requests that we confirm or deny them. These people go onto to insist that if they are true that we post them so that all can have access to this information. To date none of the stories that have been sent to me are complete or accurate.

After I explained the situation to Ron in June of 1999 he made the decision to have me write out the actual event as he had twice related it to me and then post it on our web site so that the inaccuracies of the other versions could be corrected. He felt that it was better to tell the story himself rather than allow different versions to circulate with none of them being completely accurate.

As you read this account of Ron's encounter inside the chamber where the Ark of the Covenant is located, please remember that what is being related is an event that has a number of supernatural aspects to it. We understand that this may create an opportunity for some people to mock and ridicule, but we feel that this is better than allowing bad information to continue to circulate and confuse people.

When Ron originally began his excavation at the Calvary escarpment in 1979 he began at the place his hand had pointed to during his encounter with the Israeli Antiquities representative. It is important to understand that Ron was searching only for the Ark of the Covenant. Searching for and finding the crucifixion site was not in his thoughts until it became apparent from the evidence at hand that this was what they had found.

From that point they did months of digging and tunneling along the escarpment wall looking for an opening into some type of cave or tunnel. After praying about the matter Ron was impressed to break through the escarpment wall at a spot near the crucifixion site and thus enter the tunnel system that honeycombs that portion of Mt. Moriah. When he did this he found himself in a series of tunnels that it took many months to explore. During that process he finally found his way into the chamber where the Ark of the Covenant was hidden.

When Ron first entered the chamber it contained a number of items including some of the furnishings from the first temple which were covered with animal skins, wood and then stones stacked on top of them to about 18 inches from the ceiling. For this reason the only way he could move around within the chamber was to crawl on either his back or his stomach. At the far end of the chamber was a stone case with a broken lid whose top was only a few inches from the ceiling. This prevented him from seeing the Ark on his first visit to the chamber but it helped him notice the crack in the ceiling and the brown substance (the blood) which was directly above the stone case. He assumed and later confirmed that this stone case contained the Ark.

On his later visits to the chamber he tried with several different types of still and video cameras to get a clear picture of the Ark. But each time the pictures came out either "whited out" or blurred beyond use. This was a source of great frustration and embarrassment for Ron; to not be able to produce one clear picture of this wonderful discovery. On his fourth visit into the chamber he took with him an 8mm video camera and tripod, determined to finally get a clear shot of the Ark.

As he entered through the same opening he had always used to access the chamber, he immediately recognized that something was very different. The rocks that were always there inhibiting his path were no longer in place. In fact he was able to enter the chamber and drop all the way to the floor. At this point a light came on in the chamber, the source of which he cannot fully explain. Ron then saw that the chamber had been completely cleared of all the rocks and debris, a task Ron had known would need to be done but which would take a long time to accomplish. But now the job was already completed! The chamber was completely clean with no sign of the any of the debris and the Ark of the Covenant was out of the stone case.

As you can imagine Ron was stunned by what he saw. The Ark had been placed against the eastern wall of the chamber directly underneath the crack in the ceiling where Christ's blood had flowed onto the Mercy Seat. The other temple furnishings were set in their proper place relative to the Ark. The rest of the items were set off to one side.

A number of very important artifacts are there in that cave. In the back of the Ark is the "book" that Moses wrote - the first five books of the Bible. They are written on a leather scroll that is as fresh and supple as the day it was written! Just as the shoe leather of the Israelites did not wear out in the desert, this leather has also remained in perfect condition and shows no deterioration. Several other artifacts from the first temple are in that cave, including the table of shewbread, the seven-branched candlestick and a 5' 2" sword that most likely was Goliath's sword!

Although he cannot explain how, the wall directly behind the Ark had the appearance of crystal and was glowing with the color pattern of a rainbow. It appeared to Ron that the rest of this crystalline wall was the source of the light which was illuminating the chamber. As he was taking in the sight he suddenly realized that he was not alone in the chamber. Ron stated that he could "feel in his body that he was in the presence of angels."

He saw that there were four young men in the chamber with him. They did not look like angels but appeared as young men dressed in normal "street clothing."  But Ron knew that they were angels. He stood there frozen for a few moments unable to move or even speak. He wanted to ask them what they were doing in there but he was not able to do so.."

"He then walked back over to Ron and told him two things. The first was that if Ron remained faithful, he would have a part in bringing out the tables of stone so that they might be put on display. The second was that the Ark was not to be revealed to the world or the tables of stone put on display until shortly after a law was passed that would attempt to enforce the mark of the beast upon people.

"[This statement by the angel is most interesting in that Ron died on August 4, 1999.  If "he was to have a part in bringing out the tables of stone," what did the angel mean?  There are two possibilities.  One is that Ron would have to be resurrected to do this, the other is that the angel meant that Ron's work in finding the ark (his part) would be brought to light when the tables would be put on display.  Only the first one is really feasible to me, for the angel said that "if he remained faithful he would have a part."  Now Ron was faithful to the end of his life, therefore, the second possibility is not applicable, for they will be brought out whether Ron was faithful or not.  Time will tell.

"The second part of the angel's comment "that the Ark was not to be revealed to the world or the tables of stone put on display until shortly after a law was passed that would attempt to enforce the mark of the beast upon people."  If Ron is to be raised up to be a part of this scenario, this means that it would have to be at the time of the first Sunday law.  The angel said that the tables of stone would be put "on display SHORTLY AFTER a law was passed that would attempt to enforce the mark of the beast upon people."

Shortly there will follow a death decree against all true Sabbath keepers and the time described as the time of Jacob's trouble would commence.  This ends in the deliverance of the saints who refuse to receive the mark of the beast by keeping Sunday.  At that time we are told by Ellen White, all those since 1844 who died keeping the third angel's message will be raised from their graves with their immortal bodies.  This would of necessity be after the time of Jacob's trouble and at the time of the deliverance of the saints from the death penalty connected with the Sunday law and the mark of the beast.  Thus if Ron is to have a part in the bringing out of the tables of stone, It seems like it would have to happen before the first resurrection of the saints after the death decree is issued.  This would mean that he is to be raised before the others are raised.  Again, time will tell!]"

Then one of the angels stepped forward (this is the only one of the four that would speak to him) and told Ron that they were the ones whose job it was to guard the Ark of the Covenant. They had done this since Moses had first placed the tables of stone in it. He told him that God wanted people to see all of these things at a particular point in time. He then instructed Ron to set up his tripod and video camera in a certain place and turn it on.

Once Ron had done this the four angels went over to the Ark, lifted off the Mercy Seat and placed it beside the Ark. The angel that had spoken to him beckoned him forward and told him to take out the tables of stone. Ron leaned over and picked up the ten commandment stones. He then backed away a few steps and the angels placed the Mercy Seat back on the Ark. After a few awkward moments the angel reached out and took the tables of stone from Ron, walked over to a niche in the chamber wall that looked like a shelf and placed them on it. This "shelf" was close to the original entrance that was used by those that had hidden the Ark there over 2500 years ago.

When the time comes we will see the Ten Commandments removed from the Ark of the Covenant! Hopefully they will go on display and travel around the world like the King Tut Exhibit and you and I will get to actually see them in person! Ron says that they look as if someone wrote in soft butter with their finger and then turned them to stone!

After that encounter Ron gathered up his camera equipment and left the chamber through the original entrance. By following this tunnel he was able to find his way out of the cave system and back onto the street. He immediately rushed to his hotel room where he played back the tape of the event. He had to see if the Ark, the angels and the tables of stone showed up clearly on the video. To his amazement everything showed up clearly. He was very excited. But suddenly his excitement turned to dread. He realized what he had in his hands, yet the angel had told him that these things were not to be revealed until the mark of the beast law was passed. What was he to do with this tape? It was undoubtedly the most important video ever recorded. Where would he put it? How would he keep it safe!?

Having no clear answer to these concerns, he finally decided that the best way to proceed was to go back to the chamber and ask the angel what he should do. He went back into the chamber and the four angels were there. The angel that spoke to him earlier stepped forward and asked him what he wanted. Ron told him that he did not have a safe place to keep the tape. Then the angel reached out and took the tape from Ron's hand. He walked over to the place where the tables of stone were still sitting on the niche in the chamber wall and placed the video tape on top of them. To the best of Ron's knowledge that is where everything remains to this day.

While this was the extent of what the angel told him, Ron said that he came away from this experience knowing more than he had been told in words. He was strongly impressed that while the video he recorded in the chamber would be shared with the world and that the tables of stone on which God Himself had written His Law would be put on display, the Ark of the Covenant would remain in the chamber where it is.

It is on the basis of this information, plus his agreement with the Israeli authorities, that he acted as he did in withholding certain information about the Ark and its location.

Ron also stated that as far as he knows no one else has been in the chamber except himself. However, because he is not always there, it is possible that someone else has or could enter the chamber and see the Ark IF the angels guarding it would allow it. Otherwise, the way the tunnel system is in that area, no one would be able to find their way.

On this last point I need to share an experience. I visited the entrance into the tunnel system recently and found a number of men furiously digging in an area where they thought the entrance into the tunnel system was. I went over to them and explained that not only were they digging in the wrong place, they were digging in an area that had caved in a number of times and that Ron had back filled to keep people out. Amazingly they told me that they had just recently prayed that God would send someone to tell them if they were doing the right thing or not. Because I showed up shortly after their prayer they took my counsel and stopped digging.

The point of my story is this. There are a number of people that think they know where the entrance into the tunnel system is. They are mistaken. The entrance does not require any digging or tunneling to get into today. Because of the sensitive nature of this information I cannot reveal where that location is but I can tell you that it is both dangerous and illegal to dig where these gentlemen were digging. They are fortunate that there was no accident or that they were not seen by the local authorities.

My appeal to everyone is that we allow God to do things on His timetable and not feel that we have a mandate to inject ourselves into the event. This is exactly what those six Jewish men who died in that tunnel were doing. I would hate to see a repeat of that.

God will deal with His things in His own time and in His own way. No one will miss this event. The time will come when all will be able to see the Ark, the blood and the tables of stone.

"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance PATIENCE......" 2 Peter 1:5,6

When we were excavating in Israel for the Ark of the Covenant a lot of people would come by.  We were just about a block and a half up the street from the Rockefeller museum which is where all the offices of the Israeli Antiquities Department are located. Now, there's been a letter sent around that implies that we never had a permit and possibly never excavated and all those sorts of things.  Satan is at work and there are those who will not enter the kingdom and they will do all they can to stop others from entering.  And so this is the type of thing we are dealing with.

Well, by way of a quick explanation - The United Nations passed 2 resolutions that there was to be no Archaeological excavations in occupied territories, so all of us who have received permits to do archaeological work in occupied territories have been asked to keep those private.  One person who kind of shouted around about his is not doing archaeological work in Israel any more....  I'm not going to jeopardize my relationship with those people just to have the satisfaction of showing some of these people that they are wrong.  There are things that are more important than proving people wrong.  And all the folks that we discuss we pray for. Remember this.  Anybody that gets to heaven is going to be a nice person. So you can enthusiastically pray for the worst kind of people there are, that the Lord will save them, because, again, if they get to heaven they're going to be nice people!

From time to time people would come by, they'd come over and stop and watch for a bit.  And several of them would come over and say, "What are you all diggin' for?"  And so I'd say, "The Ark of the Covenant".  And they'd look at me right funny and they'd say, "SURE!"  and they'd go on their way.

This one man came by one day around noon and he watched for a bit and then he said, "Look, can I help ya'?"  I said, "Sure."  So we let him carry buckets of dirt and debris from the top of the dig (of course the dig was down in the cave and that day my turn was up on the top - I had to go round up some things, and so I was working up there) - we let him carry the buckets off to where we were dropping the palings.  And so he started asking a few questions and we had a conversation about a few things.  And he said, "You know, I'm going through a religious training school over on the other side of Jerusalem and I wish you could come over there and talk to the rest of the students and our teachers."  And he said, "Is that sort of thing possible?"  And I said, "Sure. If you'll give me a time I'll try to get over there."  And so he excused himself. He said, "I'll go make a phone call and then find out what would be a good time."  So he was gone for a few minutes, came back, and he said, "How's Wednesday evening?"  And I said, "That would be fine." And so he gave me directions how to get to the place where this school was located and he put it on the back of a piece of paper and I stuck it in my pocket.

Wednesday came, and I knocked off a bit early, got washed up and I got a "rent-a-wreck" car. (You can get them quite inexpensively - they've all been wrecked but they still run so that's the main part!  None of them have air conditioning, or at least the ones I got didn't, so I had the windows rolled down.)  I was proceeding across Jerusalem all on these streets that were on the little sketch and I got to one place and I couldn't find the street and I was going back and forth along this road looking for that street and it just simply wasn't there!  So after about a half a dozen passes, I said, "Lord, if You want me to talk to these people You're going to have to help me find them, 'cause I simply can't find the street here." And I asked that in Jesus' name.  (Probably if I'd done it the SECOND trip it wouldn't have taken so long!.)

I decided, to go down the street I was on and make one more pass, and if I don't find it I'm just simply going back to the hotel and try again some other day.   I turned around and started back up the street, and there was a little old man tottering along the edge of the pavement.  He was having a terrible time keeping his balance.  He wasn't drunk, he was just simply, you know, one foot on the dirt and the other one on the black-top and some stones and stuff there and so he would wobble out in the road a bit.  And I stopped forgetting about my problem.  And I said, "Sir, can I take you home or wherever you want to go, 'cause you're going to get killed out there like you are."  And so he said, "Yes, Thank you!"  And so he got in the car and I said, "Now, I'm lost already, so you'll have to tell me where to turn."  And he said, "Well, I'm going to a little shop at the foot of the hill up here."  And I said, "OK.  You just tell me where to turn and I'll take you there."  And so we went up the street a little ways and he said, "Turn here."  And so I turned down that street and we got to the bottom of the hill and here was this market and I said, "Are you sure this is where you want to go?" And he said, "Yes."  Well, the market was all boarded up.  It had sheets of plywood over the windows and doors, and weeds and saplings were growing up all around the thing - it was quite obvious to me that it hadn't been used in several years!  That's why I asked him "Are you sure this is where you want to go?"  He said "Yes."  So anyway, he got out of the car and he turned around and stuck his head back in the window and he said, "The young man you are looking for is up that road at the top of the hill." [pointing] He said, "You go through one gate and it's the first house on the right."  Well, I hadn't said a word to him about no young man or anything like that....  When he pointed I looked to make sure I saw what direction he was pointing and when I looked back to say "thank you" he was gone....

Well, we had a REAL good meeting that night...!!! But folks, God's angels have been given orders to do anything they can to facilitate the finishing of God's work.  And if you want to have these kinds of experiences yourself, just be sure you know what to tell people. That they must go to the Father in the name and blood of His Son and ask for forgiveness and rehabilitation, and that God's law is binding throughout eternity.  In Ps. 89 verse 34 He says, "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips."  Now we've been sharing that thought with people for some time and the other day I was reading in the Spirit of Prophecy and ran across a statement where she is talking about the last work and she said "the workers will remind the world that God does not alter the thing that has gone out of His lips."  Well, I don't know about you, but that is quite reassuring to me to know that the Lord impressed me to state that and that she had predicted that that would be a part of the last message!
 

TRAGIC HAPPENINGS:
(As told during question and answer period at Lexington, TN on January 9, 1999)

QUESTION: What about the 6 men who died. Were they Rabbi's?

ANSWER: Now about the six men. I don't know if they were Rabbi's or not. The Ark of the Covenant is 300' north of the old city wall of Jerusalem and is in occupied territory. As you know Yasser Arafat has every intention of getting Jerusalem back and this area. And the UN and the United States seem to be intent on forcing Israel to accept that situation.

The Israelis wanted to move the Ark of the Covenant out of occupied territory, into their own territory. And they allowed or arranged for six men, dressed in Levitical garb to go in and move the Ark. I didn't ask to many questions as I have learned that it is best not to get nosy. When I go over there, quite often I will stop by the Antiquities Office, and ask them if there is something I can help them with. Now we have some electronics and some experience using electronics, and so we are able to find things that they have problems locating. We are able to see if there is something in a cave, before we actually open it, with electronics. And so they have had me do some of this for them.

    On this occasion they just said, "yes we have a problem that you may be able to help us with." So that night I met them down at Zedekiah's Cave. Some of you know where that is if you have been there. And so we went in, and they said that six men went down this tunnel to move the Ark of the Covenant to a safer place and they didn't come out. "Would you go see what happened to them." Well the Israelis are not cowards by any stretch of the imagination. Now the men that were in the tunnel had these walkie talkies or radios, and I'm sure they were in contact with people that were at the opening to the tunnel. All I can figure is, that they must have made some horrifying noises as they died, which was heard by those outside, otherwise they would have gone in to see what happened to them.  But, nobody would go in.  Well when I went in they were all six dead. From the beginning of the tunnel in Zedekiah's Cave to the chamber that the Ark of the Covenant is in, is 370'. They had progressed approximately 70' along the tunnel when they died. All of them died of a bilateral stroke, as witnessed by the fact that in all six, both of their eyes were crossed.

Now to date there has been approximately 16 people who have died, because they have tried to interfere with or stop this work that God is allowing me to do. Most of them died in connection with the Ark of the Covenant in particular. They have all died of brain cancer or stroke. So anyway what I basically did when I saw what had happened, I went back out and told them. They had brought along these rescue baskets made of lightweight alloy, with ropes tied to them in case I was able to go in.

So I took the baskets in one at a time. I would pick up a body and put it in a basket. I held it upright as the people at the end of the tunnel would pull the basket out. When we got one to the entrance to the tunnel, I would take another basket back in and load on another body, until we got all six of them out. I didn't ask what they did with them, I didn't ask anything and was asked not to say anything. But this appeared in a couple of papers that there had been six Israelis die in an effort to retrieve a national artifact. Because it was in the papers, some people asked me if I knew about it. I answered yes! And so we have shared that information.  What this indicates is simply God is quite happy with the Ark of the Covenant being where it is, and has no intention of letting anybody move it.

Another incident had to do with a man who was told about the Arks existence before Ron was told not to say anything.  He got all excited and wanted Ron to get the information to the press.  Ron refused, so the man said he was going to get the word out and called some newspapermen to hold a news conference.  Ron was quite worried about this, but could not do anything about it as he was scheduled to fly home the next morning, the same time the man was to inform the press.  That conference was never held, for the man was found dead in a back alley with his throat slashed from ear to ear.

WHEN GOD SAID NO:

Another incident in which God had a hand, but the results were not tragic, because God kept it from happening.  This was when a religious television program,  tried to scope the news about the discovery of the Ark and tried to coerce Ron to take them there, bribing him with money etc.  They offered to pay his way over and go with him, hoping when they got there, Ron would buckle under.  The head of the program and his brother were there.  They were pressuring him to take them to the Ark, but Ron refused.

Finally someone suggested that they pray for a sign as to what to do.  They took that suggestion and prayed that if Ron WAS NOT to take them to the Ark that it would rain.  Rain in that part of the world and at that time of the year was very unlikely, but that night it rained hard.  The next day, one of the brothers was still insistent that they be taken to the Ark.  He suggested that his brother go.  This brother told him that there was no way he would think of doing that, for God had given a clear NO, and he would not be a part of the other brothers scheme.

The outcome was that they did not get to video tape the Ark as planned.  An outcome from all of this was that the one brother who was insistent started a rumor that Ron had broken an agreement and taken the money.  This is a boldface lie and never happened.  The enemy has tried hard to smear Ron's name and discredit the discoveries.
 

WHEN JESUS CAME TO RON:

 This last account gives a glimpse into Ron’s humility and one reason the Lord chose him for this discovery.  A question was asked by a man at the Grants Pass meeting.
 

QUESTION:  QUITE OFTEN I GET ASKED WHAT WAS THE MOST PRECIOUS MOMENT OF ALL IN MY WORK ON THESE THINGS THAT YOU’VE SEEN HERE.

ANSWER:  I was in North Carolina one afternoon or evening.  The people had just seen the video and were asking questions.  Somebody asked, “Do you camp out when you are working on these projects?”  I said, “No, I was in the army and I had all the camping out I wanted and I have no intention of ever doing that again.  We stay at a real cheap hotel North of the Damascus gate on Nabolus Road, it’s called the Jerusalem Hotel.”  A little later somebody asked, “When are you going back.”  I said, “About the middle of September.”

Well we got everything together, my helpers whom I knew I could trust, and off we went.  When we walked up to the Jerusalem Hotel there on the front steps sat the doctor that had been in the audience in Hendersonville, North Carolina, uninvited and unwanted.  I realized that I had spent all of this money to get over there, to work on this and I couldn’t because this man could not be trusted, otherwise he would have at least asked before he showed up.

Now then, I am very sensitive to make sure that God is with me in everything I do.  These things are too important for somebody to try and use their own smarts or cleverness, which we don’t possess to begin with on deciding what to do and when to do with these things.  I reached the conclusion that God couldn’t use me anymore, that one of my mistakes or whatever had been too much, and that I was no longer in His favor, and that He wasn’t guiding me anymore, or that man would not have shown up like that.

I said a prayer, “Lord I am sorry.  I knew to begin with that I was not worthy to do these things.  I thank you for allowing me to do this much.  If I can be of any help to the next  person, I’ll be glad to do it.”  I have never been more depressed in my life, and I’ve been in some pretty depressing situations.  I saw the Ark of the Covenant, the blood on the Mercy Seat and all of that, and then I was no longer useful to God.  I couldn’t continue.

We decided to clean out the garden tomb of a bunch of trash and stuff that had accumulated over the years.  If you want to see where Christ was buried, go look in the garden tomb, that’s where.  The crucifixion site is approximate 80 feet from the garden tomb.  I won’t tell you any more on that until we can show it to you on video.

Anyway, I had a fan that was cooling us off a bit because it was extremely hot.  The fan died.  Misery on top of misery.  Well the doctor had been helping and when the fan died he got his lunch and we scooted back up under some shrubbery off to my right in the shade eating his lunch.  I was sitting flat on the ground trying to fix this fan.

I had nothing to live for people.  Have you ever been in that situation?  Anyway I heard this voice say, “God bless you in what your doing here.”  Well, the owner of that voice knew everything that I was doing.  I could tell by the way that he said that.  I was shocked because there was not supposed to be anybody there that knew that.  I looked up (a pause as he became filled with emotion, close to tears) and there stood Jesus.  I was not having a dream or a vision because afterward the doctor piped up and said, “Ron, do you suppose we have been talking with an angel?”  He looked exactly like EG White described Him—tall dark hair, dark beard, dark brown eyes, rather light complexioned for having dark hair and eyes, and the kindest expression I have ever seen in (his voice breaks again and is close to tears) my whole life.

I knew it was Jesus, but I’m a researcher and I thought I would ask a few questions and make sure.  So I said, “Sir, do you live around here?”  He said, “No!”  You see the outfit he was wearing was like of similar to what Arabs still wear today, but not exactly because His garments were hand woven rather than machine woven.  I asked Him if he was a tourist, He said, “No!”  I couldn’t think of anything else to ask Him, so I just sat there and looked at Him.  He then said, “I am on my way from South Africa to the New Jerusalem.”  Do you remember Jacob’s dream.  He was a little ways North of Jerusalem and he saw the ascending and descending, and he said is not this the gate of heaven?  Jesus was on His from South Africa to the New Jerusalem, and the prophet said that it was the gateway to heaven.

I just sat there.  I did not know what to say.  I was dumbfounded, I was not even sure I was breathing by then.  He looked at me again with that kind expression and said, “God bless you in what you’re doing here.”  (Again filled with emotion so he had to pause)  That folks was the most precious moment of all of this, and the most precious moment of my entire life.  I hope that an even more precious moment will come for all of us when we can look into that wonderful face (voice breaks filled with tears) and hear Him say, “Come thou good and faithful servant.  Enter thou into the kingdom of thy Lord.”

God has done everything possible to save us folks.  Please don’t allow Satan to steal this from you.  Let us bow our heads for a moment.  “Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for what you’ve done for us.  We thank you that you love us.  We don’t know why you did it, but we appreciate it.  We ask you that you will bless everybody here this evening, as only you are wise, powerful and caring enough to do.  Help us to be humble, loyal and truthful servants.  Help us to lift up Jesus that others will be drawn to Him and be saved.  Please don’t allow anyone to be lost that you can use us to help them come to you and be saved.  In Jesus name and by His precious blood I pray.  Amen!

CONCLUSION:

Thus the Lord has given graphic evidence that even up to the present time, He is still watching over the Ark and its precious cargo.  The four angels who were assigned to the Ark after Moses placed the tables of stone inside, are still on the job, faithfully watching and keeping the Ark safe until the time its contents will be revealed to the world along with the video that was taken.

Praise God for revealing this most incredible find of all time.  May we all be ready when this time comes, for the main purpose of these revelations is so people will prepare for what is ahead.  All who want to be ready have the opportunity now of preparing themselves.  How is this done?  By seeking the Lord with all their hearts, seeking for an intimate, personal relationship with Him.  Asking daily for the infilling of His Holy Spirit, and feeding in His Word daily.  May God bless you all.
